553650 1/24 Ford Escort RS1800 Mk.II Lombard RAC Rally

The U.S. designed Ford Escort Mk 2 was launched in 1975. It was a significant evolution compared to the Escort Mk 1 that debuted at Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. It used reliable mechanical components as the Mk 1 but adopted a new design based on a squared style look enabling it to be in line with the aesthetic and stylistic taste of the 70s. In addition to the more classic version, it was also released the Escort Sport version characterized by a more aggressive look and distinctive sport interiors. To compete successfully, in World Rally Championship, a dedicated model, the RS 1800, was introduced to complete the lineup. Successful results were achieved. From 1975 to 1979 the Ford Escort RS 1800 won for five consecutive years the prestigious RAC (Royal Automobile Club) Rally, the most important rally event organized in the United Kingdom and an important milestone of the World Rally Championship.
